Effect of Water Stress on Moisture Content Distribution in Soil and Morphological Characters of Two Tomato (<i>Lycopersicon esculentum Mill</i>) Cultivars

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of water stress on moisture content distribution at different soil layers (pot) and on morphological characters of tomato plants. Three treatments of moisture level were imposed, viz, 100%, 70% and 40% of the field capacity. Moisture content distribution was higher at the surface and decreased with increasing stress at all growth stages. Yield and related morphological characters responded better at 70% of the field capacity compared with other treatments. Keywords: Tomato; … Show more

“…Excess radiation and high temperatures are the most limiting factors affecting plant growth and finally crop yield in tropical environments [45]. Growth, yield and yield-related components of tomato varieties were affected by water stress while a heat-sensitive variety was more affected than a heat-tolerant variety [46]. GY of barley decreased when sowing was delayed from 10-25 December to 10 January [47].…”

“…De fato, durante o melhoramento convencional ao aplicar métodos de seleção indireta requer em etapas mais avançadas a utilização de testes diretos. No entanto, apesar de eficiente, a seleção direta requer maior demanda de tempo e recursos (Nahar & Ullah, 2006;Shamim et al, 2014), o que torna relevante a utilização de métodos indiretos nas etapas inicias em um programa de melhoramento.…”

“…Diante disso, aprimorar novas metodologias de seleção no melhoramento genético do tomateiro para tolerância à seca é de fundamental importância. Há relatos de métodos eficientes de seleção direta (Nahar & Ullah, 2006;Shamim et al, 2014;Rocha et al, 2016;Borba et al, 2017) e indireta em tomateiro (Aazami et al, 2010;Morales et al, 2015) visando avaliar a tolerância ao déficit hídrico, no entanto, tais procedimentos demandam maior período de tempo, custos elevados e exigem mais mão de obra para execução.…”
